The Bush Administration pursued a policy of detainee mistreatment that since has been acknowledged to include torture of detainees. And the process that got the United States of america into a place where it was torturing detainees was a Legal Process that was full of mistakes and failures by the office of Legal Counsel at the department of justice by mr.

And i will oppose his nomination. And mr. President , i am astonished, i am astonished that we are here considering the nomination of a person who is in violation of the Geneva Convention rules of work to which the United States of america is
